Obama unveils budget blueprint - CNN.com

The budget for fiscal year 2010 includes substantial investments in health care reform, renewable energy and education.

The budget also includes big cuts for some programs, setting the stage for major political battles as political patrons fight to save budget items in the months ahead.

Based on the proposed budget, the administration projects the deficit for fiscal year 2009 will reach $1.75 trillion, or 12.3 percent of U.S. gross domestic product. That's a record in dollar terms and is the highest as a share of GDP since World War II.
